Security

Operations

Port security is managed by the internal operations team.

Compliance

All marine terminal facilities at the Port of Belledune and the Belledune Port Authority itself are in compliance with International Ship and Port Facility Security Code (ISPS Code) and the Canadian “Marine Transportation Security Act and Regulations” (MTSR’s); each individually having Marine Facility Security Plans that have previously been reviewed and approved by Transport Canada Marine Safety & Security. The plans are kept up to date and amended from time to time as required by Transport Canada with the individual Marine Facility Security Officers (MFSO’s) being responsible for their upkeep and which must otherwise manage and control the security plans for/on behalf of each individual marine terminal facility operator (or Port).
